labneh
Labneh is a creamy, tangy yogurt cheese popular in Middle Eastern cuisine. It is made by straining yogurt to remove excess whey, resulting in a thick, spreadable texture. Labneh can be enjoyed on its own or used as a dip, often drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with herbs or spices.
This versatile dairy product is rich in protein and probiotics, making it a nutritious addition to meals. Labneh can be served with bread, vegetables, or as part of a mezze platter, which includes various small dishes. Its mild flavor pairs well with both savory and sweet ingredients.
